Voiding Disorders | Diagnostic Test: Simultaneous functional MRI and urodynamic studies Behavioral: Questionnaires Other: Post Void Residual (PVR), Uroflow and Bladder Diary Diagnostic Test: Urinalysis |
The investigators propose a unique, multimodal prospective study that will allow investigators to identify for the first time the structural and functional brain contributions to LUTS in men with BPH and BOO at baseline and post procedure. For this, The investigators will recruit three different groups of patients:
Group 1: Patients with BPH and significant improvement in the storage symptoms following BOO procedures.
Group 2: Patients with BPH who have persistent storage symptoms following BOO procedures.
Group 3 (CONTROL GROUP): Men without LUTS who are planning to undergo radical prostatectomy.
Each participant will provide a detailed history, undergo a complete physical examination and will have the following assessments: IPSS, IPSS Quality of life, Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), Patient Global impression of severity (PGI-S) and improvement (PGI-I)19, 20, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), MRI Safety Screening Questionnaire. A post void residual volume will be measured and a urine sample will be obtained for urinalysis (patients and controls). A two-day bladder diary will also be obtained from the participants. Participants in group 1 and 2 will undergo a clinical urodynamic study within a year prior to the neuroimaging scan. All participants will be followed up at one, three and six months after the BOO procedures (Transurethral resection/ablation of prostate and simple prostatectomy) and radical prostatectomy in the control group. On each visit, the investigators will gather the following data: Uroflow and PVR assessment, bladder diary, and all questionnaires will be repeated in all patients at one, three, and six months. Participants with persistent storage LUTS at six months will have a repeat UDS to ensure BOO is resolved. Group 1 and 2 will undergo simultaneous fMRI/UDS scanning twice during this study: First before BOO procedures and at the second one at six months. The control group will undergo baseline fMRI/UDS.
Investigators' established platform for simultaneous urodynamic study and functional MRI scanning will allow investigators to detect structural changes during the micturition cycle. Providing 3D structural images and functional images to have a better understanding of the brain effect on LUTS. By correlating the bold signal changes, structural markers and participant's clinical data, investigators will provide scientific rationale for subsequent studies in the field of neurourology.

Group 1
Patients with BPH and significant improvement in storage symptoms after BOO procedures
|
Diagnostic Test: Simultaneous functional MRI and urodynamic studies
Double lumen 7 Fr MRI-compatible catheters will be placed in the bladder and rectum. A Phillips Ingenia 3.0T full body MRI scanner with standard 12 channel head coil will be used. Instructions to communicate using right hand signals representing "full urge" and "voiding or attempt of voiding" will be given. Signs will be shown to the patient when filling of the bladder is begun and when filling is stopped. Also, in order to keep our noise-to-signal ratio low, all stimulators including any extra visual stimuli and the UDS machine will be removed from the MRI scanner room. The filling and voiding cycle will be repeated up to 4 times in each patient. Bladder will be aspirated after each voiding. This algorithm will be performed before, and, 3 and 6 months following BOO procedure.
Behavioral: Questionnaires Each patient will provide a detailed history and undergo a complete physical examination. Each patient will have the following assessments: IPSS and Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), Patient Global impression of severity (PGI-S) and improvement (PGI-I), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), MRI Safety Screening Questionnaire.
Other: Post Void Residual (PVR), Uroflow and Bladder Diary Follow-up assessments: Uroflow and PVR assessment, bladder diary, and all questionnaires will be repeated in all patients at one, three, and six months.

Official Title | Higher Neural Contribution Underlying Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Undergoing Bladder Outlet Procedures. | ||||||
Brief Summary | Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects the storage and voiding phases of the micturition cycle. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) refers to storage symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, urge urinary incontinence and nocturia. Surgical options for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), including prostate ablation and transurethral resection, are currently offered for symptomatic improvement. However, 30% of patients report persistent LUTS after BOO procedures. Neuroplasticity induced by BPH and BOO can be contributory of persistent LUTS in these men, having different brain activation patterns during the micturition cycle. The investigators proposed unique multimodal functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study that will identify for the first time, structural and functional brain contributions to LUTS in men with BPH and BOO at baseline and following BOO procedures. The investigators hypothesize that men with symptomatic BPH who have persistent LUTS following BOO procedures have a distinct brain activation pattern in Regions of Interest (RoI) that regulate the micturition cycle. | ||||||
